articles like this sound good until you realize that the grid often interconnects over multiple states. With pipeline infrastructure lacking. My guess is these gas plants are going to be built in states like Pennsylvania close to where gas is being produced. Easier to convert the shale gas into electricity closer to where it is produced.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the JnJ vaccine use the old vaccine technology compared to the newer Mrna vaccines?

The truth though is that when the generous pandemic stimulus ends, the labor shortage will also end.

Robinhood is expected to go public (IPO) soon. What does everyone think of the company now? I was going to invest but now I'm having second thoughts on it. Seems like the brand has been permanently tarnished by this situation overall.

I live in So cal and this is a super good idea. What many people don't know is that the cities have been big advocates for building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). These are smaller homes that are basically built in people's backyards. It is seen as a way to increase housing units without doing any significant rezoning of traditional zoning.

I was looking on google maps satellite view and noticed that the vast majority of homes with large backyards do not have an ADU so the potential here for investment is pretty significant I would say.

We are also in a housing crisis and rents are soaring.

This law is simply guised as fighting "hate speech" but in practice it is designed to eliminate political enemies.

My opinion is to abandon these "traditional" parties and go back to the fundamentals of what makes a society free and prosperous. Then vote based on that.

Still happening today. Except we call it cancel culture instead.

This is something that authoritarian regimes do to eliminate their political enemies through color of law. They create vague laws that only get applied to their political enemies.

Really unfortunate to see this is the path Canada has gone.

The conspiracy nuts are crazy, I agree, but they are also opposed to oppression so they are our allies.

Be wary of the "divide and conquer" strategy when it is being used by oppressive regimes and various governments.

True but it is also possible that he was assisnated. People get assisnate all the time for political reasons.

Voters shouldn't be able to influence private landowning anyways since it violates private property rights. The whole point of owning land is so you can decide what to do with the land. If you want to decide what to do with someone's private property then work a deal with them instead.

Just another scam like MLM where you get idiots to buy "equipment/inventory" to start their "business". The person doing the pitching is often just a sales man for the company they're saying to buy from.

Problem with gold is that it is also inflationary only difference is it is mines that "print" more gold instead of a central bank.

Cryptocurrencies are better since they have geometric decay built into the algorithm to make them deflationary by default.
